Those of you who had speculated about the exact origins of Nintendo and Monolith Soft’s upcoming X needn’t speculate any longer.
The quasi-mysterious title has finally been confirmed as the next installment in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, which started on the Wii back in 2012! Now the Homs have taken on space exploration in handy mech suits not unlike those featured in the Xenogears prior to Xenoblade’s existence.
They’re exploring a new world much akin to our own in the upcoming title, conveniently called Xenoblade Chronicles: X, in which the protagonists visit a city called, and I quote from Nintendo’s Treehouse Event, “Neo Los Angeles.” The mystery behind how our world and Xenoblade’s worlds are interconnected will surely be one of the highlights of the entire game. Because of this, I can say I’m more astounded and intrigued by this title than ever before and will definitely be picking it up once it comes out in 2015.
